As a parent of an autistic child, you know that one of the most frustrating things is when they want something but can’t express it. This often leads to meltdowns and confrontations, which thankfully can be avoided in most cases.

By introducing the use of pictogram menus, you empower your autistic child to make choices, express their wishes, have a say and improve their quality of life. It may take time to get used to them, but it’s worth it.

In addition to empowering autistic people to make their own choices, the menu helps appetite by highlighting the colors and shapes of vegetables and making them extra delicious. In addition, the pictogram menu can help provide inspiration for what can be added to the usual menu to make your lifestyle a little greener and healthier.

The pictogram menus with Danish texts address autistic people’s interest in letters and order and make it exciting for them to study the menu. This is when they really start to connect the pictures to the words, which strengthens their language.

Depending on the child’s/young person’s development and abilities, you can customize the vegetable pictogram menu so that the child/young person only looks at one sheet, all the sheets or is given the option to choose from a few selected vegetables.

If the child is challenged in a way that makes them really upset when they get a “no” or can’t navigate the options, we recommend using pictogram cards with a vegetable on each card instead. You can find the maps under Pictograms.
